This depends a massive amount on the definition of a slum, because there is certainly a big proportion of the Chinese population that lives in lower-quality housing (not like shantytown-level usually, just lower-quality) but they are overwhelmingly in villages, etc., while "slum" normally implies denser urban populations. If they are using a culturally reasonable definition of slum, then it is a lie.

Also, our chic "micro apartments," vs their impoverished "slums"

You can't count somebody without a home at all as "living in a slum"

I would consider a location with habitats and no or unenforced building codes to be slums. So basically what the abundance guys want and every rental property in the us
